Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Osteocephalus buckleyi by Duellman and Mendelson, 1995, Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 55: 343, where it had been placed by Trueb and Duellman, 1971, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 1: 19. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 182-183, provided a photo and brief account for French Guiana. See account and discussion by Jungfer, 2010, Zootaxa, 2407: 29-33. Ron, Toral, Ortiz, and Almendáriz C., 2011, Check List, 7: 323-325, provided records from Ecuador, noting that previous records from Napo Province, Ecuador are based on Osteocephalus buckleyi, and a distribution map. Menin, Melo, and Lima, 2011, Phyllomedusa, 10: 137-142, reported on morphology on larvae from Manaus, Amazonia, Brazil. Lynch and Suárez-Mayorga, 2011, Caldasia, 33: 235–270, illustrated the tadpole and included the species in a key to the tadpoles of Amazonian Colombia.

Washington, 125: 410, for brief account and records for Guyana. Metcalf, Marsh, Torres Pacaya, Graham, and Gunnels, 2020, Herpetol. Notes, 13: 753–767, reported the species from the Santa Cruz Forest Reserve, Loreto, northeastern Peru. In the Osteocephalus buckleyi species group of Jungfer, Faivovich, Padial, Castroviejo-Fisher, Lyra, Berneck, Iglesias, Kok, MacCulloch, Rodrigues, Verdade, Torres-Gastello, Chaparro, Valdujo, Reichle, Moravec, Gvoždík, Gagliardi-Urrutia, Ernst, De la Riva, Means, Lima, Señaris, Wheeler, and Haddad, 2013, Zool.

Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 77, noted that previous records from Venezuela are based on specimens of Osteocephalus helenaeTaucce, Costa-Campos, Carvalho, and Michalski, 2022, Eur. J. Taxon., 836: 114, discussed the evidence for the presence of this species in Amapá, Brazil, and reported on distribution, literature, and conservation status for Amapá, Brazil. Schiesari, Rossa-Feres, Menin, and Hödl, 2022, Zootaxa, 5223: 61–62, detailed larval morphology and natural history.
